"Midway through last summer's transfer window, there was an air of frustration and disappointment for Bayern Munich when it became clear Florian Wirtz was choosing to join Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen instead of the German Rekordmeister. Bayern then had to work through their contingency plans and ironically wound up signing Luis Diaz from Liverpool, who has enjoyed a fantastic start to life in Munich and the Bundesliga."
"By the evidence on display, Bayern seemingly got the best out of the situation from the summer with how good Diaz has been so far. His solid form has been all the more refreshing given that the club has been without Jamal Musiala in attack and Alphonso Davies in defense as they've both been recovering from major injury problems. Additionally, Bayern have started the season with 17 matches unbeaten, but it's been far different for Wirtz with the defending Premier League champions."
"I always speak to Flo, regardless of his situation. It's a very complex and difficult situation when you look at his club. Last year they won the Premier League and played very attractive football. This year a few players left them, and they invested a lot of money on new players,"
Florian Wirtz opted to join Liverpool rather than Bayern Munich during last summer's transfer window, prompting Bayern to sign Luis Díaz as a contingency. Díaz has produced 11 goals and five assists in 17 appearances across competitions. Wirtz has managed three assists in 16 appearances without a goal. Bayern have navigated injuries to Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies and begun the season with a 17-match unbeaten run. Liverpool have experienced multiple league defeats, a Champions League loss, and a Carabao Cup exit. Julian Nagelsmann described Wirtz's situation at Liverpool as complex amid departures and significant new investment.
